I FEEL SO SPECIAL -_- ...
1. This is a fashion choice that just needs to go. I big up whoever designed those jeans in the pic to solve the problem...but heres an easier and less expensive fix "PICK UR DAMN PANTS OFF THE FLOOR AND ABOVE UR @$$"
9. THAT IS THE WHITEST NAME EVER.... I think if we think about we could come up with something worse though...
12. NO
14. I love the wording "HIP HOP RELATED.." Key words...although its not completely HIP HOP I would say it represents, educates, and entertains us with the foundation of HIP HOP....
15. I think somewhere in between MC HAMMER and Gangster rap... the TOO KOOL FOR SCHOOL/ TO DANCE MOVEMENT ALSO HELPED....U KNOW THE LEAN BACKS, and SNAP UR FINGER songs of hip hop....those made everyone get lazy and think you could go to the club and not need to bust a move. WRONG...when did leaning back ever get you a dub with a hot ass girl in the club? (didn't mean to rhyme) EXACTLY....I appreciate a guy that can move...
16. U don't have to be a sports fan...but its just more fun when u ARE...
20. Weezy like a lot of artist now...is feeling himself a bit too much. He needs to pull his head out of the clouds and remember how he even got to be where he is. I hope he stays hungry because some of these artist need a reality check.
